Production Manager, Ruby In The Dust

Ruby In The Dust are showcasing a brand new and radical interpretation of Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. Following a successful performance at the Spiegeltent on London’s South Bank as part of the Underbelly Festival, we have been invited to stage the show as part of the Festival of Sex, Love and Death at the Pleasance Theatre (curated by Headfirst Productions) for two nights: Friday 27th October and Staurday 4th November. Titled “The Extra-Ordinary Cabaret of Dorian Gray” it uses music and cabaret, with steampunk influences, to portray Dorian Gray (the character and the story) as never seen before.

We are looking for a producer to help us mount this production and also to find further venues for it thereafter. We also require assistance in inviting a body of industry professionals to attend. If the production is successful there will be opportunity to continue working as part of the team, for the future of this production and other projects too.

Working hours are negotiable. Duties will include the following:

Assist in raising funds, and managing relationships with funders.

Collaborate and take the lead in writing funding applications

Assist in finding further venues for the production, and negotiate the contracts.

Manage contracts and payments for people involved with the production.

Oversee the advertising and marketing of the production.

Identify contractors for the various needs of the production.

Offer administrative support to the production.

Compile production schedules and liaise with venue and creative team.

We would like our producer to have an interest in the type of work that Ruby in The Dust Theatre create ( please look at our website if you are not familiar – www.rubyinthedusttheatre.london ) and to demonstrate an interest in supporting future projects. We would also like the successful applicant to be involved in the some of the pre-production tasks, such as casting and, and to work closely with the artistic directors.
